Lost

I got told to take pills
To ease away the pain
The pills made me question 
My own identity 
I needed to get some kind of help
I started therapy
Nothing seemed to ease away this pain
This darkness in my soul
My heart once full of love
It turned black, it turned into coal

I lost who I was
I lost me
I was so frightened 
I wasn’t living up to what 
People expected me to be

I wanted to see the light
It seemed to far away
I wrote down my thoughts 
Through poetry 
I knew I would be okay
I relaxed my mind
I focused on what I can do
All it took was someone to say
“ I believe in you”
